It was unbelievable. It was like the Lakers put on a hoop camp with a bunch of 8 yr olds and decided 'no layups' was in effect.
Pistons never got the message that dudes on the other side tall and long af.

Once Luka can drop the occasional 50 piece i'm ready to say he's better than Dirk ever was.

Low-key..already. Dirk could never do what Luka doing. Dirk had his own unstoppable talent, but I think Lukas could manifest even more success. Hope he gets away from maga Cuban, but already know they finna give him the farm

Let Luka get to the finals first...Dirk is still that dude and the one Chip playoffs run he has was legendary only to finish it off against the Heat.

The only time I was happy someone was beating my own team. Dirk was unstoppable and he deserves all the credit. Plus LeBron and Wade doing that fake coughing bs was lame.

Exactly
and I remember the coughing BS lol. Even Jerry has to chill with those statements with Luka eventually being better than Dirk. How quickly they forget how unstoppable Dirk was at times and he has a chip and the way he did it solidified him as a legend. He was on a mission that playoffs. Let’s see if Luka can even carry his team to the finals...let alone WCF.Luka is nice but Dirk is STILL that dude. It’s disrespectful.

Dirk is one of my favorite players of all-time but Luka has potential to surpass him.
Luka is only 20 years old and is averaging 30-10-9, and his team is doing well this season so it's not just empty stats.
If he stays healthy and keeps progressing then I have no doubt he'll be better than Dirk.
Dirk was an offensive juggernaut, with an unstoppable fadeaway. I can only imagine how could he would've been in this day in age, as it suits his game better now. Also, what if he played with a coach like Pop.
On the other hand, Luka can dictate the flow of the game, and there are only a couple of players who can do that (LeBron, Magic, CP3, etc.).
With that being said, Luka still has mountains to climb if he wants to surpass Dirk.

Imagine comparing a 21 year career to someone who’s played 1 + 1/3 seasons of basketball.
Luka at this point in his career is lightyears ahead of Dirk in his 2nd season.
Dirk wasn’t putting up 30 pt triple doubles and a MVP candidate in his 2nd season.

They shouldn’t have ever been considered serious title contenders to begin with so I’m not sure why your shirt is off

Damn I remember Iverson rocking those.
As a kid I was Iverson crazy, broke my heart when I got older and found out he was a POS in real life
